Electrical contracting is a high-risk profession. Whether you're wiring a new home, repairing a commercial panel, or installing lighting systems, the potential for injury is real. That’s why workers compensation insurance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a smart business move.

At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping electrical contractors across the U.S. find the right coverage at the best price. We work with multiple top-rated insurance carriers to ensure you get a policy that fits your needs and budget.


⚠️ Common Risks Faced by Electrical Contractors

Electrical contractors face unique hazards on the job, including:

  • Electrical shocks and burns

  • Falls from ladders or scaffolding

  • Tool-related injuries

  • Exposure to hazardous materials

  • Repetitive strain injuries

Without proper coverage, a single workplace injury could lead to costly medical bills, legal fees, and lost productivity.


🛡️ What Does Workers Compensation Insurance Cover?

A comprehensive Work Comp Policy typically includes:

  • Medical expenses for injured employees

  • Lost wages during recovery

  • Rehabilitation costs

  • Death benefits for families in case of fatal accidents

  • Legal protection against employee lawsuits

Having the correct policy ensures your business stays compliant and your team stays protected.


💼 Who Needs Workers Compensation Insurance?

If you’re an electrical contractor with employees—even part-time or seasonal—you’re likely required by state law to carry workers compensation insurance. Even if you’re a solo contractor, having coverage can protect you from unexpected medical costs and liability.
